Genes $p, q,$ and $r$ are arranged on a chromosome. If the recombination frequency between $p$ and $q$ is $10 \%$,the recombination frequency between $q$ and $r$ is $20 \%$,and the recombination frequency between $p$ and $r$ is $10 \%$,what is the order of the genes on the chromosome?

In a certain plant, red flowers $(R)$ are dominant to white flowers $(r)$ and tallness $(T)$ is dominant to dwarfness $(t)$. $A$ heterozygous plant $(RrTt)$ is backcrossed with a double recessive plant $(rrtt)$. If the gene loci for colour and size are situated very close together on the same chromosome, the expected percentage of offspring could be approximately:
Tall RedTall WhiteDwarf RedDwarf White

respectively.

Distinguish between: Linkage and Recombination.

$A$ scientist performed a gene mapping experiment in maize. He mapped genes on chromosomes based on the percentage of crossing over between different genes. One map unit corresponds to $1\%$ crossing over or recombination frequency. Based on the study of crossing over in maize, the scientist observed the following recombination percentages between genes $A, B, C,$ and $D$: $A$ and $D = 10\%$, $A$ and $C = 3\%$, $C$ and $D = 7\%$, $A$ and $B = 5\%$, and $C$ and $B = 8\%$. Based on these observations, determine the correct order of genes $A, B, C,$ and $D$ on the chromosome.
